Australian Old Time Radio Recordings

.

Recordings from the 1930's to the 1990's

Most of Australian radio history has been lost as old tapes and transcriptions took up space and were mostly dumped and did not seem to have any historic significance at the time. It is just as well that some announcers and engineers recovered stuff from the tip or "pinched" it from the studios if it's future looked grim. And of course the enthusiastic home recordists have also played a major part. It is time to pull all the available material together while there are still people out there who care and remember.
Most of this is sourced from various analogue sources including acetate discs
real to real tapes and the humble cassette.

Broadcast Band DX
Recordings of broadcast band at night from various locations in Aus
and Overseas from the 1970's to 2000's. It has changed a lot in Australia
as most stations closed down after midnight and you could hear the world.
